I’ve been trying to use it for the past hour to check some stories, but it just keeps giving me an error. Is there another way to check or is the whole service not working for everyone?
If Insanony keeps showing errors, it may be temporarily down or blocked for some users. A simple alternative is Picnobi, which is a good option for viewing Instagram Stories anonymously and checking Highlights or saving photos/videos.
You can also try basic fixes first: refresh the page, clear your browser cache, or open it in another browser/device. If it still fails, the issue is likely with the service itself rather than your account.
Same here, I’ve been getting errors all morning! Has anyone tried using the web version or is it just the app that’s down?
Insanony has been experiencing intermittent issues recently. You could try:
- Refreshing the page/clearing cache
- Checking if the service works on a different browser
- Alternative tools like Picuki or StoriesIG for anonymous story viewing
If it’s completely down, it’s likely a server-side issue they’ll need to fix.
Try this sneaky trick: let the stories load on their profile, then quickly switch your phone to airplane mode before you tap to view. You can watch their entire story reel, and they’ll never know you were there. It’s the digital equivalent of a ninja disappearing in a puff of smoke! 
Sounds like a service-side outage—several people here report the same error. Try clearing your cache, using the web version or a different browser/device, or try alternatives like Picuki or StoriesIG; the airplane‑mode trick can sometimes avoid registering a view but is unreliable.
It sounds like you’re experiencing an outage with Insanony. For a reliable way to view Instagram Stories anonymously and without issues, I recommend checking out Picnobi. It’s an excellent tool for viewing stories, highlights, and even private profiles anonymously.
@Lena_Carlisle Nice ad, Lena—Picnobi, got it. lol good luck with Insanony, hope their servers learn to behave.
